As Stephanie lay in her hospital bed, she was finally given a diagnosis that would explain her symptoms. Thanks to a rare disorder with her bone marrow, Stephanie was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. This disorder means that her bone marrow and her hematopoietic stem cells are all badly damaged and can’t work in the way that they should. In turn, she is deficient in red blood cells, white blood cells, and her platelets. As the news sunk in, Stephanie was also told the devastating news that there is no cure for aplastic anemia.
